The Sant'Alenixedda district is between Giovanni XXIII Square, Ottone Bacaredda Street and Marconi Avenue. It takes its name from the homonymous street where the Lyric Theater of Cagliari and the "Pierluigi da Palestrina" Music Conservatory with the adjacent Auditorium are located. Although it is among the most populated neighbourhoods in the city, it has an uneven and not very compact appearance; in fact, to designate the area the denomination "Sant'Alenixedda" is used very rarely by its inhabitants who rather claim to belong to the adjacent neighbourhoods San Benedetto or Fonsarda.
